DIY modern 1930s nails: part 2








As a follow up to my post on how to do a modern update on the 1930s half moon manicure,  here are some other color combos that I've tried and liked. (I'm also dying to try out white and black as in the image above, however applying the white takes more time and precision- more on that later). For now, some recommendations for the easy glitter route....







Left to right:

Mac Turnelle (or any deep black)/ LA colors Art deco in silver (best deal at dollar tree)

Essie chinchilly (or OPI french quarter for your thoughts)/ wet and wild party of five glitters

Mary Kay plush plum/ Lancome limited edition golden hat collection #003*

*I LOVE this gold color- hard to find glitter like this and looks awesome all over the nail as well!

The middle duo would be best if you want to try out this trend in a more subtle way- as the drama of this look generally comes from high contrast combinations.
